Surgical Carvers

Carvers have sharp cutting edges that are used to shape, form, or cut tooth anatomy into amalgam restorations. Many carvers are designed for carving specific tooth surfaces like the Interproximal and Hollenback were designed for carving proximal tooth surfaces, the discoid-cleoid and Tanner are used on occlusal surfaces. Carvers like Vignon or Frahm acorn are used to quickly carve the basic anatomy on occlusal surfaces.

Each dentist has a favorite carver that he is most comfortable with and uses it most commonly and finishes up most of the procedure with that single carver.
